Staff Education Program ChecklistThe Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) student is responsible for complying with the sites policies and requirements regarding the DNP project. The DNP student must follow the steps in the 2021 DNP Project Process Guide for students following the 2021 DNP Program of Study while working on the DNP project. The resources for the DNP project are located on the Office of Research and Doctoral Studies DNP Doctoral Study page.The DNP student must be actively enrolled in the doctoral mentoring study course shell (NURS 8702 or 8703) to participate in any activities related to the project.Staff Education Projects Staff education projects must align with the purpose of the project and project outcome identified on the Staff Education Site Approval Form. The project must follow the steps in the DNP Project Process Guide. Staff education may include nurse residencies, orientation, in-service education, and continuing education of professional staff. Programs may be multidisciplinary in nature, meaning that other professional healthcare clinicians may attend and benefit from the content. Staff education is usually developed to meet a need identified by a site or clinical practice setting to improve patient care, achieve standards of practice, or to meet regulatory guidelines. For the DNP nurse, staff education is often used to help inform and improve knowledge and skills using current evidence-based practices to facilitate improvement in healthcare and nursing practice to affect positive social change. The project management action plan should include milestones and tasks for the ADDIE phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation for the staff education project (https://educationaltechnology.net/the-addie-model-instructional-design/). Evaluation should be formative and summative. Formative evaluation should be conducted during the development of the program while summative evaluation occurs after implementation to assess the outcome of the education program. If a student is developing a comprehensive program that will be conducted over several months and needs organization approval prior to implementation, the student may develop the program and complete a formative evaluation with stakeholders. Examples of these types of programs include a critical care education program or a nurse residency program. DNP students may not develop scholarly projects that involve patients, families, or pre-professional students as their target population. The evaluation should identify the programs impact on social change as an outcome.Ethical Requirements for Staff Education Doctoral ProjectsIn the doctoral project documents, the doctoral student must change the name of any partner sites and generalize the location(s) so that the site(s) is not identifiable. The student must redact any information that will lead a reader to identify the site. The site must…
…copies of the training booklet to read at their free time. The trainers will administer an assessment at the end of every month to test participants understanding. The expected outcome is that participants will be more knowledgeable and display an enhanced understanding of medication errors in their daily working and decision-making.Assessment The education program will include both formative and summative evaluations. At the end of every month, participants will take part in an evaluation where they will give their views about the program, whether or not it meets their expectations, and recommendations or ideas for improvement in the next month. After three months of implementation, the project team will engage the preceptor for an interim evaluation to ascertain whether the project is on course toward realizing the set objectives and advise on possible corrective actions.A formal summative evaluation to assess the effectiveness of the education program will be carried out at the end of the sixth month by five external consultants who will be selected by the project team through a competitive process. The summative evaluation will involve assessing participants knowledge on medication errors and patient safety through a knowledge-assessment questionnaire, observing participants as they work, and calculating the incidence of medication errors in the post-training period relative to pre-training.CompletedThe Work Breakdown Structure…

This is one of the most common forms of research and, for some research questions is clearly a strong design (Ethics in Critical Care Nursing Research, 2005). The research that was done in this article would be considered a non-experimental type. There were two types of observation that were conducted. The first type was that of focus groups and the second being the file audit, both of which are observational

The chief concern of the researcher should be the safety of the research participant. This is carried out by carefully considering the risk to benefit ratio, using all available information to make an appropriate assessment and continually monitoring the research as it proceeds. The scientific researcher must obtain informed consent from each research participant. This should be attained in writing although oral consents are sometimes acceptable after the participant has had

Third, lack of attention to evidence-based practice can lead to inconsistent delivery of care services. Evidence-based practice relates to almost every aspect of health care at every stage of a client's relationship with the institution. For example, evidence-based practice informs the types of questions asked during the diagnostic procedures and might even impact the diagnosis itself (Bennett & Bennett, 2000). Evidence-based practice impacts the methods by which infections are prevented

Evidence-based practice is an approach that has been applied to clinical practice and nursing. Evidence-based practice started initially in medicine and went to fields like education, psychology, nursing and dentistry. It should be noted that the research is based on studies that were carried out and these studies go on to fit the scenario that is currently being dealt with. Treatments that are supported empirically are the ones that are proven

The Implementation of Evidence-Based Practice
Evidence-based practice is a cornerstone of effective patient care (Mateo & Kirchhoff, 2009). The robustness of any existing body of evidence is only as useful as the ability of advance practice nurses to access, retrieve, and implement that knowledge in the practice environment. Therefore, nurses need systematic and comprehensive strategies for making information available to colleagues. Nurses also need their administrators to invest in the
